•  Merino breathes and controls moisture meaning that it has the natural ability to respond to changes in temperature. This unique garment property helps keep young ones cool when it is hot and warm when it is cold.
•  It improves sleep routines: Medical studies have proven that merino ¬improves the sleep patterns of babies and ¬infants. At the ¬Cambridge Maternity Hospital in 1979, Scott and Richards revealed that babies sleeping on ¬merino ¬settled more quickly, cried less, fed better and gained weight faster.
• Merino can absorb a third of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, preventing that clammy feeling on baby’s skin that comes with polyester-filled baby sleeping bags
• Even when merino gets wet, it stays warm so if your baby’s nappy leaks in the night, it won’t make him cold and uncomfortable.
• It reduces skin allergies: Superfine merino is soft and silky and does not itch your baby’s skin. ¬Because it has the ability to ¬respond to changes in ¬temperature, it’s amongst the most ¬comfortable material you can put your baby in. ¬Merino has been linked with a lower incidence of skin allergies.
